Get my first novel, "Master of the House" for free online today!
Posted: Sat Aug 24, 2013 6:23 amHey guys,
I try hard to stay away from too much selfish and shameless self-promotion (but not from alliteration).
Well, today you can download a copy of my first novel for free on Amazon.
But you don't have a tablet or e-reader you say? No problemo. You can always get the free Kindle App on your smartphone is you don't have an e-reader or tablet. It's a great app with some decent functionality. It fits in your pocket. It's free. Problem solved.
My novel is also free for a limited time. That's free as in it cost you exactly zero dollars or any of the other currency accepted in the forty or so countries the book is available.
The book is called Master of the House. It is the first book in my Legacy of Shadow series.
The book is a story about a pair of friends and their unlikely ascendancy into positions of power in the criminal underworld. It is set in an alternate history with a mix of fantasy, steampunk, and urban-fantasy.
The reviews over the past eight months have been overwhelmingly positive and the number of downloads has increased steadily, both things I am happy to watch play out. At times the book has surged into the top twenty in its categories and I've seen evidence that it has fallen into Amazon's recommendation emails.
All of this is very exciting for me and I really do enjoy these weekends where I can get people hooked with free copies of the first book.
I'll be upfront, it's not entirely selfless. Every download helps. Every review helps. "Likes" help. Even looking at the page helps. This is a ground-up project. It's off the ground for sure, but it is the help of the various communities I'm in that will truly get things moving.
So, download and enjoy. You can always get the free Kindle App on your smartphone if you don't have an e-reader or tablet. It's a great app with some decent functionality.

The book catch goes something like this:
Julian Hitchings is offered the opportunity to take control of one of Seaside's notorious criminal gangs with all the wealth, prestige, and danger the position offers. Aided by his oldest friend, two dangerous and desperate refugees from the north, and a cunning but unbalanced councilor, they are successful beyond all imagination.
Their success brings about the revelation that all is not well in Seaside. A sinister evil is growing in the heart of their city, and their actions may have been enabling it all along. Ancient debts are coming due, and Julian alongside his comrades must break through the veil of deceit before they are manipulated down a path from which there is no escape. Failure will leave them as unwitting pawns in a game where the stakes are their very souls. With enemies on all sides, Julian resolves to take whatever measures are necessary to protect his friends and to prove to the rest of the criminal underworld that he is indeed the Master of the House.
Once again, thank you to everyone who has supported and assisted this along the way.
If you have any questions, I'll do my best to answer them.
